Smitten Polish Berrydrops Swatch and Review

Today I have three of the six Berrydrops from a recent Smitten Polish collection. I chose the three that stood out the most to me and I think you'll agree that these polishes are just amazing! The Berrydrop polishes are "A
collection of gumdrop themed polishes, with names inspired by berries -
some real, some imaginary. Crelly bases with subtle tiny flakies."

Bananaberry Gumdrop - Huckleberry Gumdrop - Gooseberry Gumdrop

The first polish up is Bananaberry Gumdrop. I'm totally a sucker for yellow polishes. This polish is a sheer, yellow jelly-like polish with white flakes that builds nicely. Yellows are typically a pain, but streakiness wasn't an issue here! Shown is four thin (super thin) coats. I have a pretty light hand with polish, so you could likely do 3 thicker coats. All swatches in this post are over Barielle Advanced Pro and sealed with Out the Door.

Next is Huckleberry Gumdrop, I think if I had to choose, this was my favorite. Shown here is three thin coats. Huckleberry Gumdrop is bluer than Snozzberry Gumdrop which leans more teal and is darker. I don't usually go crazy for blues but I am completely "Smitten" ;) with this one!

Lastly is Gooseberry Gumdrop which is a fun, light shade of green. This is another one which won over my heart as I don't go for green too often. Shown here is four thin coats, although I could have definitely stopped at three.

Overall, I was IMPRESSED with the formula, but Smitten Polish always has amazing formulas. These applied super smoothly, very easily. I love the effect of the white flakes, I don't have any colored polishes that look like these, so they're most certainly a unique addition to my collection.
